I believe that Yah, abbr. (Jehova) and Elohim meaning God plural. "El" is singular form, but together Elohim (believed to be the Trinity) more than one God. I believe that the names were not replaced but translated.

Answer 2:

None of the names of God in the Hebrew Bible were replaced or changed. The text of the Hebrew Bible has never varied.

Each name of God indicates one of the ways in which He relates to the world. And none of the names are used as plural, since all of the names are linked to singular verbs.

Does the World English Bible use the name Elohim?

The word Jehovah/Yahweh (any variant of this) has never been used by Jews and is of Christian origin. The origin of this word comes from the Christian misunderstanding of the tetragrammaton that represents the true name of God used by Jews. In Hebrew, the tetragrammaton is spelled יהוה (YHVH). The vowels are lost. In Medieval times, Christians misunderstood a Jewish custom of pronouncing YHVH as Adonai, and merged the consonants of YHVH with the vowels of Adonai. Now, what about the word Elohim? Well, in the Hebrew Bible, there are 72 words used to refer to God. In reality, none of these 'names' are true names but rather descriptions of God that are contextual. The word elohim is a title given to great men, usually to judges due to their ability of reason. When the word Elohim is used to describe God, it is to highlight God's greatness such as when God was creating the world. The literal meaning of Elohim is "powerful ones". However, when referring to God, the plurality is taken in the context of a 'royal we'.
